Laurelwood | Inpatient Behavioral Health Facility

Northeast Georgia Medical Center NGMC – Laurelwood is a private nonprofit mental health and drug and alcohol addiction facility in Gainesville, Georgia. Laurelwood offers inpatient treatment to adults and teens ages 12 through 17. Laurelwood’s average stay is between three and five days and is focused on rapid stabilization.

When you’re new to a treatment program, you may feel intimidated about what you don’t know. Even with friendly and supportive staff explaining the process and methods used, it’s easy to feel like you’re going through steps without much input. Laurelwood’s program, however, makes you part of the treatment team.

During your stay at Laurelwood, you’ll work alongside your care team to develop your treatment plan. I like this approach because no one has a better perspective on what you’re experiencing than you, and your perspective can help guide staff through what types of treatment will benefit you most. As part of the team, your input can shape and change what types of therapy you participate in, so you’ll have more involvement and investment in the process overall.
